Update;

1) Converter was sent out to Turbo Action, and they went thru it. They had to repair/replace a few of the "feet" or pads that the converter bolts thread into. They also said the ring gear and snout needed some attention. Converter is back and ready to go

2) Trans is out, and at CRT getting a once over to make sure everything is ok.

3) bought a new starter, B & M flex plate, and ARP convertor bolts

4) still have to pull and change the cam plug on the back of the motor ( when the weather breaks ).

5) Once the trans is back, i should have it back together in a few hours.

Thanks for everyone's posts. ( i forgot i posted this last year, Ramcharger found my old post, lol )
